A Palindrome number is a number that will be the same even if its digits are reversed. For a better understanding of this Palindrome C program example, we always recommend you to learn the basic topics of C programming listed below:
This C program explains how to reverse a given number and check whether it is a Palindrome or not.
A Palindrome number is a number that will be the same if we read it in reverse, which means the number or a string will be the same if we read from backward or forward.
For example, '121' is a Palindrome number. Again in the case of string 'madam' or 'civic' is a Palindrome string. So to check for a palindrome number, we have to get the digits in that number in reverse and check if both are the same or not.
In this palindrome C program, we initialize a variable 'rev' to zero. After accepting the number as input, save the number to a temp variable, then use a 'while loop' until the number is greater than zero, Then to extract the last digit from the number, use a mod operator with '10' to get the digit (remainder) from the number.
Add that digit we got as remainder to reverse variable using rev = rev * 10 + digit. Then to remove the last digit from the number, divide the number by 10. Finally, compare the number, and the reversed number and check whether they are the same or not. using the if condition. If both the numbers are the same, then print the number as a Palindrome. Else not a Palindrome.
STEP 1: Include the Header file to access the Libraries and the built-in functions.
STEP 2: Declare and Define the variables using in the C program.
STEP 3: Accept the number using printf and scanf built-in functions and save that number in a variable.
STEP 4: Store the number in a temporary variable to keep the original number safe.
STEP 5: Open a While loop until the number greater than Zero to make the number Reverse.
STEP 7: Use the Mod operator with 10 to get the number last Digit and save that in a variable.
STEP 8: Add the Digit into the Reversed number variable by using the equation rev * 10 + Digit; (we are multiplying the number with 10 to get the added digit position to be corrected.)
STEP 9: Divide the number with 10 to remove the last Digit and continue that loop until the number is zero.
STEP 10: Check the number and reversed number is the same using the if condition.
STEP 11: If that condition is a match, then print it's a palindrome number else print, not a palindrome.
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int num, temp, digit, rev = 0;
printf("Enter an integer\n");
scanf("%d", & num);
temp = num; /* original number is stored at temp */
while (num > 0)
{
digit = num; /* use mod operator to take the last digit of the number */
rev = rev * 10 + digit; /* add the digit to rev *10 to assign the digit to position */
num /= 10; /* divide the number by 10 to remove the last digit */
}
printf("Given number is = %d\n", temp);
printf("Its reverse is = %d\n", rev);
if (temp == rev)
printf("Number is a palindrome\n"); /* check both variables are equal if so it is palindrome else not */
else
printf("Number is not a palindrome\n");
}
RUN 1 Enter an integer 12321 Given number is = 12321 Its reverse is = 12321 Number is a palindrome RUN 2 Enter an integer 3456 Given number is = 3456 Its reverse is = 6543 Number is not a palindrome
